Description

Hi there,

I am writing on behalf of Echoes of Hope Founders, NHL Hall of Famer and President of the Los Angeles Kings, Luc Robitaille and his wife, Stacia. Echoes of Hope is a nonprofit organization founded in 2007 to support at-risk students with the tools and resources needed for them to be successful in their academic and professional endeavors. Echoes of Hope supported over 13,000 students in need in 2021.

Annually, our organization hosts a holiday party for students in our Leaders of Tomorrow program. These are at-risk students between the ages of 16-30. Students in this program have a 100% stay-in and graduation rate and are very dedicated to their studies.

Many of the students we support unfortunately do not receive gifts for the holidays either because their families cannot afford it, or they do not have families. This is often a very lonely time for our students and we host this holiday party as a way to brighten their holiday season.

As so many students and families are still struggling due to the effects of the pandemic and inflation, would like to bring some much-needed cheer to our students and we hope that we can count on your support to do so.

90%+ of students in our program are eligible for free/reduced lunch programs at their schools and/or are living at or below the poverty line.

We’re hoping we can count on Six Flags to support this event during the holiday season. One of our students specifically asked for park tickets and we’re curious if the company has the capacity to 2-4 tickets. If approved, in recognition of the donation, we’d be happy to include the company on our social media in a post- event thank you post as well as provide a tax receipt.

Thank you in advance for your consideration. We look forward to hearing back from you!
